Theophilus11: Kakazu ridge and pictures from the weekend.

Here's a couple pictures from Memorial Peace Park down at the southern tip of the island, which is where we went last monday. It always a powerful learning experience to think back on the travesty of war and to see the evils man is capable of. Thank the Lord we can visit the peace park reflecting on such a war and not have to experience the real thing in order to know the atrocities man is capable of. While I was there, I was actually able to talk with an Okinawan lady who worked in the caves during the battle of Okinawa. She said that both of her parents died in the battle and that she was a young girl aiding the Japanese soldiers in the caves. In the course of our conversation, she told me she was a Christian. I'm far from fluent in Japanese, so the conversation was difficult and limited, but it was so exciting to hear that she was a Christian. haha, she even added in that she was protestant. Even better news, eh? : )
